Ultra Metallic Red Goni
Transform Your Tank with a Metallic Red Showpiece
Looking for a Goniopora that owns the whole display? The Ultra Metallic Red Goni is one of the rarest color morphs in the hobby, and it's in stock now at The Coral Boutique. Its long, flowing polyps carry a deep red base with a metallic sheen that pops under blue reef lighting, giving your saltwater aquarium a centerpiece with constant movement.
This aquacultured LPS frag pushes its polyps well past the skeleton, so once it opens it reads far larger than its base. Strong daytime PE is the sign of a well conditioned Goni, and this piece shows it. Set it low to mid on the rockwork with gentle, indirect flow, keep it fed, and it will color up and sway all day. If you've been hunting for a rare Goniopora at Ultra grade, this is the piece to build your reef tank around.
